Pregnant and desperate, Calla must contend with whether or not the lottery knows her better than she knows herself-and what that might mean for her child. But what if the life you're given is the wrong one? When Calla, a blue-ticket woman, begins to question her fate, she must go on the run.
And once you've taken your ticket, there is no going back. You are relieved of the terrible burden of choice. A blue ticket grants you a career and freedom. A white ticket grants you marriage and children. On the day of your first bleed, you report to the station to learn what kind of woman you will be.
From the author of the Booker Prize longlisted novel The Water Cure comes another mesmerizing, refracted vision of our society: What if the life you're given is the wrong one? "Blue Ticket adds something new to the dystopian tradition set by Orwell’s 1984 or Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale." -New York Times Book Review Calla knows how the lottery works.
